Woodcutters Son Tabs

(ver. 1)
Weller Paul
This is my first tab, and is Paul Weller's fantastic song
"Woodcutter's Son" from the equally fantastic "Stanley Road" album.
I have been surprised by how little tabs are available for Weller 
fans,and in fact I couldn't find this song anywhere on the net.

Intro:

RIFF 1

Verse 1:

RIFF 1
Sugar town has turned so sour
its people angry in their sleep
There's more small-town paranoia
Sweeping down its evil sheets 

Chorus

C
You better give me the chance
F
I'll cut you down with a glance
G				F
Yeh, with my small axe - so help me,
C
And tho' I'm only one
F
And tho' weak I'm strong
G
And if it comes to the crunch
F
Then I'm the woodcutter's son
RIFF 1
And I'm cutting down the wood for the 
good of everyone!

Verse 2
RIFF 1

You can tell it's witching hour
You can feel the spirits rise
When the room goes very quiet
And there's hatred in their eyes -

Chorus

C
You better give me the chance
F
I'll cut you down with a glance
G
Yeh, with my small axe - so help me,
C
And tho' I'm only one
F
And tho' weak I'm strong
G
And if it comes to the crunch

Then I'm the woodcutter's son
RIFF 1
And I'm cutting down the wood for the 
good of everyone!


{SOLO} - RIFF 1

Verse 3:
RIFF 1
  
There's a silence when I enter
And a murmur when I leave
I can see their jealous faces
I can feel the ice they breathe

Chorus

C
You better give me the chance
F
I'll cut you down with a glance
G
Yeh, with my small axe - so help me,
C
And tho' I'm only one
F
And tho' weak I'm strong
G
And if it comes to the crunch

Then I'm the woodcutter's son
RIFF 1
And I'm cutting down the wood for the 
good of everyone!

RIFF 1
And I'm cutting down the wood for the 
good of everyone!
